Native Americans

Good to see the native Americans keeping a piece of their own land.  Good to see thousands of veterans giving their support.  Funny how reasoned the arguments became after the vets joined in; what a pity it took so long for the corporate people to back off.  Nice to see 'boots on the ground' in the US in defence of the defenceless.  Well done Vets and well done those brave people who stood their ground.

It wasn't a final decision. It was just a postponing in order to allow an environmental impact statement assessing the proposed route and looking for alternatives.

Ah right, I'm mistaken then.  Even so, it'll be interesting to see if they come back for another go.  Vets against the police should be even more interesting, especially with the huge amount of public support for the people who own the land.

the dpla have to get the army corp engineers to complete the enviorment impact assesment before jan or early jan  , this is in winter in dakota , logistics get problems , there is a very good chance the time will go before the ok is given to renew drilling

eventually the tar oil fracked oil will have to be transported to the coast as its supposedly earmarked for export ,

the issue will occur again

By which time the vets army along with the protesters will be well organised hopefully.  The Corporations with their police against the people, mmm, it could get very interesting.  I doubt the brave warriors in police uniform who have been assaulting old men and women will be as cocky when confronted by the vets.

a good bit of solidarity , many ceos of the 17 banks financing the pipeline have changed email addresses , seems people have been messaging them expressing their anger

Strange isn't it, that people can get angry when confronting thieves :-)

The old ones are the best Kay
